DESCRIPTION
"Managing Fear" - keynote presentation at IT Camp 2014. The topic is should you avoid fear and "cure" it, or can you use fear as a positive force to help you change things? I am not sure how much of this can be understood without the corresponding explanations, but for those who were at the conference and asked for a copy, I am happy to share.TRANSCRIPT

As citizens of the European Union, Romanians are fully entitled to freely travel and find jobs in all 28 EU member States. The UK Commission for Employment and Skills found there were 655,000 vacancies in the UK between March and July 2013. Figures from a Romanian website that hosts more than 200 recruitment agencies shows 10,367 vacancies advertised by British employers on the website last month. But it looks like Romanians are not in a hurry to come.

D-cycloserine (DCS) slots into part of the MNDA receptors in the brain – which modulate the neurones’ ability to adjust their signalling to in response to events
Premium community conference on Microsoft technologies itcampro@ itcamp14#
• The MNDA tunes the firing of neurons, which is one of the key ways for the brain to store memories
• At very low doses, DCS boosts that process, improving our ability to learn
• This strengthens the response to traditional therapy for fears and phobia

appetites of spiders, you will not be afraid of them– If you understand the principles of avionics

• What happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object?
Question
Premium community conference on Microsoft technologies itcampro@ itcamp14#
• Based on the law of physics, an immovable object has an unstoppable force of inertia. According to Einstein’s laws of physics, for anything to have an unstoppable force, it requires an infinite mass. For two “things” to have an infinite mass, they necessarily are required to be the same, therefore…
• When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, the universe happens!
